Featured violinist, Gareth Johnson, 2010 Sphinx competition winner, was unforgettable; he amazed everyone with his technical mastery. Gloria Gaynor took the stage following intermission and had the audience on its feet with her final selection, "I Will Survive."
In its fourth year of participation, TSI sold fifty tickets for the concert and will receive $2,518 from the PSO as a result of those sales. Although we were $500 short of reaching this year’s goal, we were successful in surpassing last year’s sales figures. A big thank-you is extended to all Board members, staff and vendors who supported TSI by attending the concert and/or selling tickets. Each year proves to be more exciting than the last; and we hope for even greater success next year.
The Sphinx Competition offers young African American and Latino classical string players a chance to compete under the guidance of an internationally renowned panel of judges and to perform with established professional musicians in a competition setting. Its primary goals are to encourage, develop and recognize classical music talent in the African American and Latino communities.
The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra donates its time and services to the Community Partners Concert. Fifty nonprofits from the area participate. Each organization asks its partners and donors to purchase tickets. Designated proceeds go to the individual nonprofits. This year, a total of $69,816 (representing 1,567 designated tickets) was raised by designated ticket sales to the concert. In seven years of the Community Partners Program, a total of $539,000 (over ½ million dollars) has been raised by and for the PSO's Partners.
